NICKI MINAJ : Anaconda

Yep, that cover image. You knew we’d be featuring it on the site sooner or later. We don’t quite know what Nicki’s aiming for with her pink-twine-as-an-outfit g-string, but it’s clearly the antithesis of the imagery for her previous single ‘Pills N Potions’. So… the video… Will it be every bit as controversial as the cover?Well there’s certainly plenty of flesh on display, with more than a few seconds of rump-shaking happening. That Sir Mix-A-Lot (of ‘Baby Got Back’ fame… “I like big butts and I cannot lie” etc) features on the track kinda says to us that Ms Minaj is taking ownership of the fact that her derriere is a little on the more generously-proportioned side and she’s more than happy with it. In fact, from there it descends into a cross between an ad for a beverage company and an all-out curse-fest against all who don’t have her curves.
